e didn't dare.He was afraid that when An Xue Tang came back, she would tear him to shreds!Luckily this green snake was not venomous, or he would be in grave danger again.Who on earth is An Xuetang, th...At this moment, when he was questioned by Master Jianzhen, Shiyi didn't rush to answer. He just raised his eyebrows and then looked thoughtfully at the tall boy.

As if struck by eleven's gaze, the tall boy momentarily faltered, a flicker of guilt crossing his eyes before they darted away.

But he soon made up his mind; after all, these kids were going to blame this man anyway. What did he have to fear

Thinking this way, the tall boy held his head high and met Eleven's gaze unflinchingly.

A slight smile curved the corners of Eleven's lips as she smirked at his naivete.

Facing the question of Master Jianzhen, Shi Yi still had to give face. At this moment, he looked at Master Jianzhen with a calm expression and spoke:

"Master, I didn't even have a chance to do anything before this person just lay down. I won't take the blame for this."

The phrase "take the blame" (背鍋), Eleven learned from An Xuetang, and now she uses it very "skillfully".

An Xuetang couldn't help but smile when she heard him say that.

Because of her smile, Mo Yunjing's mood was as if instantly bathed in sunlight, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curve up slightly.

Even Jianzhen Master didn't quite believe that Shiyi would attack a child, let alone poison them. However, with the children all accusing Shiyi, he could only try his best to resolve the situation.

At this moment, he turned his gaze to the tall boy, “Young master, do you have any evidence to prove that it was Master Shi who poisoned the wine”

The tall boy scoffed, "If not him, then who We were all getting along fine until he decided to start a fight. This poison was obviously put there by him. Could we possibly have done it Me and Ming'er are best friends, we grew up together! There’s no way we would poison him.”

Upon hearing this, An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly and took measured steps towards the boy.

Everyone instinctively turned their eyes to her, wanting to know what she was going to do.

An Xuetang approached step by step, the boy stared at her with those eyes that seemed to smile yet not smile. He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what exactly was amiss.

The boy's mother and maidservant were afraid of what An Xuetang might do to the boy. Subconsciously, the two pulled the boy back a few steps, fearing what An Xuetang might do to him.

Seeing their nervous expressions, An Xuetang couldn't help but let out a light chuckle, "What are you hiding from"

She still had a faint smile in her eyes that was hard to read, and now she narrowed them, staring into the boy's eyes as she asked, "Are you nervous looking like this"

The boy listened to An Xue Tang's words and instantly straightened his chest and took two steps forward, "Who... who said Young Master was guilty What does Young Master have to be guilty of"

"Really"

An Xuetang smirked, "Since you're not guilty, then what are you hiding"

"This young master nowhere... nowhere has he hidden I haven't hid!"

This boy, in an effort to show he had nothing to hide, became even more resolute.

And he also broke free from his mother's and maid's grasp, taking two steps toward An Xue Tang to show that he was indeed innocent!

His mother, seeing him like this, felt her heart clench.

She knows what her own son is like.

She realized something was wrong the moment she rushed over. Her son suddenly running here couldn't be a coincidence.

What she didn't know was what role her son played in all of this.

This matter must be more complicated than it seems, but she couldn't figure out exactly where the complexity lay.

Moreover, judging by their attire and demeanor, she knew deep down that these three people were definitely not from ordinary families.

Especially this man named Eleven, he is just a lowly servant, but she clearly saw the attitude of Master Jianzhen just now. Master Jianzhen treated this 'servant' with utmost respect, which shows how extraordinary their identities are.

To get back to the point, how could these three people possibly be ordinary given that they were allowed to stay at this Jinchuan Temple

To know, those official wives and young ladies, whose official ranks were below the fifth rank, were not eligible to stay overnight at Jinchuan Temple.

So, these three people may seem unassuming, but their identities are definitely not ordinary.

Because of this thought, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine when she saw her son treating these three people with such disregard.

Seeing her own son break free and walk two steps towards An Xue Tang, she felt a pang of anxiety and quickly reached out to pull at his sleeve, whispering softly:

"Little brother, come back to me! Do you know what place this is Don't cause a ruckus here!"

This boy wasn't afraid at all. He hummed and swatted his mother's hand away, saying, "Mother, I'm fine. Don't worry about this!"

How could she possibly not care

But before he could say anything, An Xuetang suddenly took a step forward. She didn't know exactly what she was doing. Under the confused gaze of the crowd, she walked around the boy in a circle.

The boy's forehead was slightly damp with sweat, "You...what do you want to do Master Jianzhen is right here, don't be reckless! So many are watching, this young master doesn't believe you would poison him in front of everyone!"

An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile. "With so many eyes watching me, I wouldn't be foolish enough to poison you."

But... I'm not stupid, but you child are quite foolish. How could you poison someone and not know to throw away the rest of the poison You don't even know to destroy the evidence! You actually dare to poison someone and didn't even think about saying a word for Xiaoqin.When Xiao Qin looked at him, the guilt in his eyes didn't seem fake, but he still said nothing. He avoided her gaze, not daring to meet the clari...
